All this complaining. He's a singles artist at best. He was never known to push units before the industry began to suffer anyway.

Yeah this release was kinda tax write off tbh. They waited too long after his first single to release and there was virtually no promo. No vidoes, nothing.

Now that I think about it. Where tf did his budget go? ????

hbbbbbbb

If you add up the 6 copies of every Best Buy in each state it'll probably add up to a couple thousand...which is all he can sell tbh.

He should still be given the chance to sell
or don't release an album at all physically & go all digital

In all fairness he's lucky to get a third release tbh. He was supposed to get dropped after his second album flopped with disappointing sales.

His entire project was mishandled. Dont Tell Em was a huge hit. Did it even get a video? A televised performance? They shoulda dropped the album when that song peaked and then let Planes do what it do.

His label must be doing SOMETHING right though, this year they PLAQUED up basically all of Jermih's singles.

In all fairness, Best Buy really cut down
their music section a lot!

Their music section used to be five aisles, now
it's just two with a few displays here and there.  :plzstop:

It's not the label who determines the amount of
copies on shelves, it's the store and what they
deem necessary to have.

Jeremih himself said though he stopped caring about "being Jeremih" for a while during his custody battle

Between that, the DUI, and him admittedly not showing up to his own video shoots

I dunno how mad he can get

Right.

"Oh wasn't gonna sell anyway!"

Why ship the shit at all. Throw it on itunes if you're not gonna do a damn for it at all. It's ridiculous and it further prove the point that these labels don't give a fuck about Urban music.
